Viva Energy has announced a major step in its board renewal program, with long‑serving Chair Robert Hill AC to retire on 1 March 2026 after a decade on the board, and current director Dr Sarah Ryan appointed Chair‑elect.

The group has also appointed former Metcash and GrainCorp chief financial officer Alistair Bell as an independent non‑executive director from the same date, adding deep financial and risk expertise across retail, agribusiness and infrastructure. The changes come as Viva Energy underscores its position as one of only two large‑scale transport fuel manufacturers in Australia, highlights recent upgrades at its Geelong refinery and its growing role in low‑carbon and alternative fuels, including ultra‑low sulphur gasoline, hydrogen refuelling for heavy vehicles and chemical recycling of plastics, signalling continuity of strategy for shareholders and a strengthened governance platform for its next phase of growth.
